We have a 13-month old doodle who LOVES her crate. Every morning when she sees us getting ready to leave she picks a toy and goes right in. They are VERY SMART! We do leave her out of her crate if we will be gone for few hours and have not had any problems. The only time she was a 'bad girl', she chewed the leg of an oak barstool, my entire family was home at the time! At bed time she has long graduated to sleeping in her bed in either our room or our daughters room...(anyplace the cat is not!) Again, no problems.

I'm about to be the parent of a 5-month old doodle who will come to
me with his own crate. I understand he's "doing very well" with the
crate training but at what point can you leave them out of the
crate? How do I ease him out of it? Obviously, I don't want my
little guy living his life in a crate while I'm at work! Your advice
is much appreciated.

being extra diligent during the day...taking our 9 week-old (when we
got him) doodle out about every 2 hours during the day and praising
him along with a treat, worked very well. He was fully housebroken
in 3 weeks...had one "accident" when we took him to our mountain
house that I believe was altitude related (notoriously known to
affect GI tracts of dogs and humans) and that was it. They are a
smart breed and will learn quickly.
